Police Foil Criminal Plot in Rohtak District

A police patrol in Rohtak district thwarted a planned attack on a business, arresting five criminals who fired at them in the process. The suspects were operating under the direction of figures located in Jhajjar. Weapons and a vehicle were seized during the operation.

A police patrol team in Rohtak district successfully prevented an attack on a local garment shop by arresting five suspects early on Friday morning. The incident took place during a routine patrolling session conducted by the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA-1) in the Sadar police station area.

The police team encountered a suspicious vehicle circling Jassia to Dhamar road at approximately 5:10 am. Upon approaching the vehicle, the occupants opened fire on the officers, prompting a defensive response. In the exchange, one suspect sustained a leg injury, leading to the arrest of all five individuals.

The police recovered a cache of weapons, including a country-made pistol, cartridges, and a sword, as well as the vehicle used by the suspects. The detainees were reportedly following instructions from individuals located in Jhajjar, with one suspect being linked to criminal elements orchestrating from abroad and from within a local jail.
